The result, come the input voltage of FEEDBACK CONTROL transistor T N2 in such a way: this voltage is identical with the drain voltage definite corresponding to the drain current of transistor T N2, produces described drain current corresponding to the temperature variation of the difference between the voltage VR of the voltage VBE of foundation diode and resistor R.
Therefore, when the drain voltage of the grid voltage of transistor T N2 and transistor T P1 is identical corresponding to the grid voltage of transistor T N2, stablized reference current generator circuit 1, the grid voltage of described transistor T N2 produces corresponding to temperature variation.
With more detailed description, suppose under the uniform temperature that below the voltage VD of diode D (VD is the terminal voltage VBE of diode D) increases and the voltage of resistor R becomes and is lower than this reference value from reference value.In this case, increase the drain current of transistor T N2, therefore reduced the drain voltage of its load.Therefore, increased source grid (source-gate) voltage difference of transistor T P2, so increased its source-drain electrode (source-drain) electric current.As a result, also increased the source-drain electrode electric current of transistor T P1.Therefore, the drain voltage of transistor T N1 reduces corresponding to the reduction of transistor T N2 drain voltage.When the drain voltage of transistor T N1 and TN2 under every kind of temperature equates, equalization operation, and hold it under the balanced state.
When the voltage difference between the voltage VR of the voltage VD of diode D and resistor R during, above-mentioned operation will be reversed along direction that the gate-source voltage of transistor T N2 reduces.
In this case, because the voltage VD of diode D has negative temperature coefficient, and the voltage VR of resistor R has positive temperature characterisitic, and then the gate-source voltage of transistor T N2 becomes the summation of the temperature characterisitic of voltage VD and voltage VR.The temperature characterisitic summation depends on the working current ratio of current mirror circuit 11.
Now, channel width (grid width) ratio when the current mirror circuit 11 of reference current generator circuit 1 is 1: during n, will consider to use n as parameter.
Because reference current generator circuit 1 has the backfeed loop of above addressing, the equation (1) below then setting up:
VGS1+VD=VGS2+ID2·R ...(1)
Wherein, VGS1 and VGS2 are transistor T N1 and TN2 gate-source voltage separately, and VD is the terminal voltage VBE of diode D, and R is the resistance value of resistor R, and ID1 and ID2 are transistor T N1 and TN2 drain current separately.
VGS is expressed as with gate-source voltage:
VGS = Vth + 2 ID / βN . . . ( 2 )
Wherein, Vth is the threshold voltage of MOS transistor, ID is its drain current, N is the number of electrons of per unit area in the population inversion layer (population inversion layer), β is the constant that equals W/L μ nCox, W/L=channel width/channel length, μ n is an electron mobility, and Cox is the electric capacity of the per unit area of grid oxidation film.
Suppose that transistor T N1 and TN2 are paired transistors, then its threshold voltage vt h equals β, so ID1=ID2=ID.
With equation (2) substitution equation (1) and rearrangement, equation (1) can be expressed as follows again:
( Vth + 2 ID / βN 1 ) + VD = ( Vth + 2 ID / βN 2 ) + ID · R ) . . . ( 3 )
Wherein, N1 and N2 are respectively the number of electrons of per unit area in the population inversion layer of transistor T N1 and TN2.
Equation (3) can be expressed as follows again:
2 ID / β · ( 1 / N 1 - 1 / N 2 ) + VD - ID · R = 0 . . . ( 4 )
From equation (4), can know and find out that output current ID is the function of terminal voltage VD, resistor R and number of electrons N1 and N2.Therefore, output current ID depends on the temperature coefficient of VD, R, N1 and N2.From this fact, know and find out that the temperature characterisitic of output current ID can change corresponding to the temperature coefficient of VD and R by using the value of N1 and N2.
Investigate according to temperature characterisitic, when channel width (grid width) ratio that uses transistor T N1 and TN2 changes N1 and N2 as parameter, as shown in Figure 2, with respect to the output current of reference current generator circuit 1R, can access channel width (grid width) ratio to temperature characterisitic.
Among Fig. 2, horizontal ordinate indicated temperature (℃) and ordinate has been indicated the output current (A) of transistor T N2.N1: N2 is corresponding to channel width (grid width) ratio of transistor T N1 and TN2.
As the channel width ratio of transistor T N1 and TN2, i.e. N1: N2 is set to N1: N2=1:, obtain the curve A among Fig. 2 at 5 o'clock.With the increase of temperature, output current reduces.As N1: N2=1: in the time of 10, obtain curve B, it is coming down to smoothly in-50 ℃ to+50 ℃ temperature range, and increases and reduces a little from+50 ℃ with temperature.As N1: N2=1: in the time of 15, obtain curve C, although it slightly increases but still be substantial planar in-50 ℃ to+100 ℃ scope.As N1: N2=1: obtain curve D in the time of 20, its increase with temperature increases, and as N1: N2=1: in the time of 35, obtain curve E, its increase with temperature and than curve D increase more sharp-pointed.
On the basis of these temperature characteristicss, investigated temperature coefficient, described temperature coefficient can cancel Fig. 3 (a) to the luminescent substance shown in Fig. 3 (c) therein display device have characteristic in the temperature range of-10 ℃ to+70 ℃ operating temperature range.According to investigation, found for dividing other R, G and B color, N1: N2=1: 18, N1: N2=1: 13 and N1: N2=1: 4 is best with respect to the luminescent substances of the available R of being used for, G and B color now.
According to this fact, the transistor T N1 of reference current generator circuit 1R, 1G among Fig. 1 and 1B and the channel width ratio of TN2 are set to 1: 18,1: 13 and 1: 4 respectively.
By above-mentioned transistor T N1 and the channel width ratio of TN2 are set, can access Fig. 3 (a) to characteristics of luminescence Rc, Gc and the Bc shown in the middle dot-and-dash line of Fig. 3 (c).
Incidentally, owing to Fig. 3 (a) is considered to admissible scope to the change of the ratio of the temperature characterisitic shown in Fig. 3 (c) by about 2, the range of choice of channel width ratio that then is used for the transistor T N1 of R color and TN2 is in 1: 16 to 1: 20 scope, the range of choice of channel width ratio that is used for the transistor T N1 of G color and TN2 is in 1: 11 to 1: 15 scope, and the range of choice of channel width ratio that is used for the transistor T N1 of B color and TN2 is in 1: 2 to 1: 6 scope.
As a result, the reference current of each reference current generator circuit 1R, 1G and 1B changes corresponding to environment temperature, and the adjusted reference current of each white propertional regulator circuit 2R, 2G and 2B also similarly changes.The video data that response is provided by MPU9 by register 7, by amplifying the reference drive current that white propertional regulator circuit 2 produces, each is carved on its outlet terminal, each D/A transform piece 6a to 6m produce and organic EL brightness is corresponding, as the drive current of inverse current.Therefore, by row side outlet terminal (row pin), drive current is outputed to the image element circuit of organic EL plate.
Shown in the characteristic Rs among Fig. 3 (a), be corrected with respect to the light characteristic of the temperature of R color, Rs is smooth in essence in-50 ℃ to+70 ℃ temperature range.For B and G color, shown in some tracing Gs and Bs among Fig. 3 (b) and Fig. 3 (c), can access the light characteristic of substantial planar in-50 ℃ to+70 ℃ the temperature range.
Owing to arrive shown in Fig. 3 (c) as Fig. 3 (a), brightness curve Rs, the Gs and the Bs that are used for R, G and B color with respect to temperature are corrected as substantial planar, even then when the temperature of display device when in-50 ℃ to+70 ℃ temperature range, changing, also can keep white balanced essence continuously.
Incidentally, the current mirror circuit 11 of each reference current generator circuit 1R, 1G and 1B comprises: be connected in series to the transistorized diode of input side and be connected in series to the transistorized resistor of outgoing side.Yet, replace diode and resistance, can connect passive element with temperature coefficient, it is connected in series to the side transistor of input and output separately of current mirror circuit 11 according to opposite direction.
In addition, should be noted that, clearly illustrate that the channel width ratio of current mirror circuit 11 is corresponding to its input side and the transistorized working current ratio of outgoing side as equation (4).
In addition, the N-channel MOS transistor that is used for described embodiment can be replaced by p channel transistor, and vice versa.Particularly, when the P channel MOS transistor was replaced by the N-channel MOS transistor, the transistor that is arranged in the D/A converter circuit 4 on power supply limit became the ground connection side, and transistorized source electrode connects ground wire.Yet under the situation that the N-channel MOS transistor of each D/A conversion block is replaced by the P channel MOS transistor, the transistorized source electrode of D/A conversion block becomes the ground connection side.
Although in described embodiment, the output of D/A conversion block is offered outlet terminal as drive current, but, can bring in corresponding to output connection separately the output stage current source is provided, and drive the output stage current source by the output current that utilizes the D/A conversion block, drive current is outputed to separately outlet terminal.
In addition, although the reference current generator circuit of described embodiment is made of transistor,, certainly form reference current generator circuit with bipolar transistor.When reference current generator circuit was made up of bipolar transistor, the channel width of current mirror circuit (grid width) ratio became the emitter area ratio.
In addition, although organic EL plate is the active matrix type, it is driven by the inverse current among the described embodiment, and the present invention can be used for driving the organic EL plate of active matrix type.When organic EL plate was the active matrix type, the drive current that adds the organic EL positive pole to became discharge current.
Though described color monitor, change owing to can proofread and correct temperature variant brightness, can be applied to the organic EL drive circuit of monochromatic organic EL plate according to reference current generator circuit of the present invention.
